Hereford: Easter Bunny Orchard Trail, 12 Apr - 24 Apr

On our organic 157 acre farm, Newton Court Farm, around 30 acres are cider apple and perry pear orchards. The closest orchard to the Newton Court café, Knowl Orchard is a great place to explore; enjoy the views over to south Shropshire and Clee Hill; run around and breath in the country air; learn about the heritage of orchards, apples and cider making in the county. Our orchard is a home for rabbits and during the Easter holidays a particularly important rabbit stops to visit; The Easter Bunny. This years orchard trail will be a hunt for the easter eggs the Easter Bunny has hidden in the orchard each with a letter on.

The mission is to find the eggs, collect the letters and uncover the Easter related word they spell out. Once you have to word take your trail sheet back to the café and get a chocolatey treat from the counter!

The orchard trail is open from 9am to 4.00pm Monday to Saturday, 9.30am to 3.00pm on Sunday. Trail sheets can be picked up from the counter of the café.

New guidance for schools and local authorities on supporting Service pupils

On 1 April 2025, the Ministry of Defence and Department for Education published non-statutory guidance to help state-funded schools and local authorities in England to understand and address the needs of Service pupils in schools (reception to year 11).

Speaking about the new guidance, Minister for Veterans and People, Alistair Carns DSO OBE MC MP, said:

“Armed Forces families play a vital role in supporting our Service personnel to keep Britain secure at home and strong abroad. Fittingly, this announcement coincides with the Month of the Military Child, which is a time to speak up for our Service children.

“Service children face many challenges due to the unique nature of Service life, but it’s important that they are able to benefit from their exceptional experiences.

“That’s why this joint guidance with the Department for Education, explains how we can break down barriers and help our Service children to thrive in education.”
